Verdict

LIVING LEADER may be racing from 3lb out of the handicap but is bidding for a third course win and beat Air Of York here earlier in the month. The second had trounced Coachella earlier but Wahaab, another with a solid track record, has strong claims. Mister Musicmaster has also been successful here in the past but Carp Kid is best on the all-weather and lacks a recent run. Roman Warrior looked on the upgrade at Kempton but needs to translate that improvement to Turf.
